...reply promptly and politely, that strangers will not randomly start a conversation with me and etc. If any of these things were to happen to me, I can imagine how they could have a negative effect on my social life and my life online. And having negative effects of those important parts of a teenagers life such as their social life online can majorly impact their lives in the future.
The A.O.I for this project is Community and Service and Human Ingenuity. Theproject relates topic relates to Community and Service because the problem of the lack of social netiquette affects the community and people around us negatively. We can help the community or provide a helpful service by creating a solution or a way of creating awareness of the solutions. That is what the project is about, to create solutions and awareness to those solutions in an effort to coax more people to use social netiquette to help the community. The project also relates to Human Ingenuity because Human Ingenuity is how humans have used their skills, resources, and knowledge to benefit themselves. And this project is people using skills, resources and knowledge to persuade people into using Netiquette, which will benefit people using social networks.
Questions that will guide me through my investigation:
1. Who will my end user be?
2. What will I gather information?
* Tests, Surveys and Questionnaires.
* What are the ways...

...Personal Interest
Competitive cheerleading has been a big part of my life for ten years now. I have grown to love and become fully committed to the sport, practicing five days a week in the gym. Since cheerleading is a big part of my life, I wanted my PersonalProject to be focused around cheerleading as well as giving back to the community. I decided to host a cheering competition and give the proceeds to a charity. The charity that was chosen was the ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation. This charity was chosen for a specific reason. The ASK Childhood Cancer Foundation was a local foundation, located in Richmond. There was a young cheerleader who cheered at the same gym as me, diagnosed with cancer. Her strength, courage, and positive attitude while she was living inspired me to do this project. She had such a great impact on so many people, which motivated me to attempt to have an impact on others’ lives who were dealing with the same thing as she did.
Area of Interaction
The area of interaction that was focused on was Community and Service. I wanted to give back to my community. I knew that if I tried to give back using something I loved to do, then it would have a higher success rate. I thought of a reasonable way I could contribute to the community. Once I thought of ways that I could contribute, I set a main goal.
The Goal
I set three tangible and nontangible goals for myself. The tangible goals: to...

“Healthy People 2020 is committed to the vision of a society in which all people live long healthy lives” (Healthy People, 2012). Promoting wellness and fitness are important health goals for me and my family. I often make healthy resolution every year in January and that is to get physically fit, to be more active, to eat better, to lose weight and to manage stresses in work and family life. I do try to eat healthy foods and I do not smoke. I also learned how to manage my stress through meditation and relaxation. I do value physical activity and to exercise regularly but I do not have enough time to exercise. After a full time job at school I have to run to another part time job in a different location. I am just too tired after work to get any exercise. Unfortunately, there is no quick way to good health. But with the support of my family and self-determination I think I will be able to make the changes to improve my health by taking small steps and develop positive attitude; setting a reliable and attainable goals. “There is no pill that can reverse the effects of a lifetime of sedentary living, poor eating or tobacco abuse. Changing your lifestyle is the key” (McGraw Hill Higher Education, 2005). Changing my lifestyle is a must for me to make life more enjoyable.

...Personal Health and Wellness
In order to develop a wellness program there are several things that should be taken into consideration. First, you must develop your own personal perception of what you feel wellness is and how to stay well. Secondly, you must know what the pros and cons are for being fit. Then finally you must set immediate goals to obtain your level of wellness. The main thing you need to keep in mind is that developing a healthy life style early in life is a key factor in preventing diseases and improving one quality of life.
I would like to take a look at the elements that need to be considered in keeping well. First, I would like to talk about America’s number one threat. It’s called obesity. Some call it obesity, others overweight, some even call it over fat. Obesity is having excessive total body weight. Over - weight means having more fat on your body than muscles. Being obese is an issue that can be extremely serious.
Some of the major behaviors or factors leading to obesity are:
* Age - the older one gets the harder it is for one to lose weight. The metabolism slows down.
* Gender - women tend to gain weight more easily than men. Men seem to have a higher metabolism
* Genetics - obesity tends to run in the family
* Environment - such things as ones lifestyle, and what a person eats.
* Physical activity - how much exercise...

Case Study Four: AtlantiCare and the Voice of the Customer
Introduction
Located in southeastern New Jersey, AtlantiCare is a nonprofit organization that provides acute and chronic health care services in the following areas: cancer, trauma, cardiac care, stroke, behavioral health, urgent care, hospice, home care, family medicine, occupational medicine, child care, early learning, and mission care for the homeless. Because of the nature of the services it provides quality is essential at AtlantiCare, and the organization delivers it. In fact, AtlantiCare applies the principles of total quality so comprehensively and consistently that the organization has received the prestigious Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award. At the core of AtlantiCare’s quality program is a process the organization calls the “Voice of the Customer.” This is a five-phase process used to make the organization’s patients partners in its continual-improvement efforts. Voice of the Customer identifies patient requirements and then makes sure that AtlantiCare’s services satisfy these requirements. The company’s customer focus does not stop with external customers. It also includes internal customers-employees (Goetsh & Davis, 2011). Total quality is not a concept...

...Proper financial education is an important part of life because it affects virtually every aspect of it. Everyone will likely someday face a difficult financial situation, whether large or small, that requires time and money. Having a good understanding of daily cash inflows and outflows in personal finances will help make tough situations less stressful and easier to handle.
Cash (1996) Among five risk stressors in life ( relationships, work, health , crime/violence, &amp; personal finance), personal finance was rated as the number one source of stress, concerns about personal finance are five times higher than those regarding health. Garman et al (1996) research has indicated a relation between personal finance stress and backache, alcoholism, gambling and drug abuse. Negative outcomes include stress related illness, failure in marital relationships and lack of financial preparedness for the future.
Years ago, the financial life of average family was relatively uncomplicated. People worked for the same company most of their lives, lived a few years on retirement on Social Security and their pension and passed on their modest estate to their children. However increased longevity , changing demographics , and a more complex , dynamic financial world have changed all that. Many of today's retirees will live 30 years or more in retirement - requiring far more financial resources to maintain their...
